Result
How it Works
The tool uses a straightforward formula to reduce the precision of a given temperature value: the temperature value is rounded to the specified number of significant figures using the toFixed method, which limits the number of digits after the decimal point, thus reducing the precision of the temperature value.
| Original Temperature (K) | Number of Significant Figures | Reduced Precision Temperature (K) |
|---|---|---|
| 10.1234 | 2 | 10.1 |
| 20.5678 | 3 | 20.568 |
| 30.9012 | 4 | 30.9012 |
